American Motor Drome Company

For over a hundred years men and women have been risking life and limb on Wall of Death Motorcycle Thrill shows. The American Motor Drome Company is one of only a couple motorcycle daredevil shows still traveling the country. Jay "Lightnin" Bentley had been riding the wall for 25 years when he decided to build his own in his backyard from memory without blueprints just a giant stack of Douglas fir. In this film Jerry Long aka Charlie Ransom takes to the wall. The music is from our good friends Hugo Race and the True Spirit, the song is called Heartbrake 69 and it captures perfectly the frozen in time feeling one gets watching this spectacle atop the 14 foot wall with a 1920's Indian Motorcycle thundering across the boards just inches away!
